Kwaaaaaaaaaaa Blade is moering Vavi for tweeting "They failed, and they failed again. So now, you will have noticed, the commercial media is doing a U-turn. They are trying another trick. They can’t credibly present the SACP as a “house divided”, so now they are trying to present us as the key dividers of other houses! We are supposed to be the chief culprit, the hidden hand in factionalising COSATU. Let’s be absolutely clear. The SACP is not backing any personalities or factions (alleged or real) within COSATU. Yes, there are thousands of SACP members, many of them leaders, within the trade union movement. They are there in their own right. Those in leadership positions in unions are there because as Communists they have won the trust of the workers. They have not been deployed from the outside. The SACP does not and will not meddle in the internal affairs of COSATU. We say: Hands off COSATU! Let’s also be clear. The SACP does not want a tame, lame-duck, conveyor-belt federation. The SACP does not want a labour federation that’s afraid of “speaking truth” to government or anybody else. But let’s be even clearer – we want a labour movement that goes well beyond the petty-bourgeois, hyper-critical, NGO ambition of just speaking (or is it tweeting?) truth to government from the side-lines."
